Review schema markup, on paid plans

Paid widgets add schema.org Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD to the page they sit on, so search engines and AI answer engines can read your Capterra reviews as structured data. Google does not show review stars for reviews a business shows about itself, so the gain is readability, not stars. The free plan shows the reviews without the schema. See how the schema works

How to Add Capterra Reviews to Big Cartel

Connect your Capterra profile in BlooTrue, pick a style, then paste one embed code into the theme code editor on Big Cartel and publish. Theme code editing requires a paid Big Cartel plan.

  1. 1

    In Big Cartel admin, open Design and click the Edit code (Advanced) view.

  2. 2

    Open the layout or page template where the reviews should appear.

  3. 3

    Paste the BlooTrue embed code into the template markup.

  4. 4

    Save — the widget renders on the live shop.

The code editor edits the live theme — copy the template's contents somewhere safe before pasting so you can revert.

Where the Code Goes on Big Cartel

Big Cartel keeps the embed code inside the theme itself. In the admin, open Design, switch to the Edit code (Advanced) view, and open the layout or page template where you want reviews, such as the home template below the featured products loop.

Paste the code straight into the template markup. There is no visual preview of the pasted snippet; you save and load the live shop. Width and height come from the surrounding theme markup and the widget. Because the editor changes the live theme, copy the template's contents somewhere safe before pasting.

If the widget does not show on Big Cartel

  • Cannot open the Edit code (Advanced) view? Theme code editing is a paid Big Cartel feature, so check your plan before looking elsewhere for the option.
  • If the shop breaks after saving, paste back the template copy you saved earlier, then re-insert the BlooTrue code on its own line.
  • Reviews missing on the storefront? Make sure the code is in the home template below the featured products loop, not only in a page template.

Still blank? Our help article Widget not showing covers the checks that apply on every site.

Capterra Review Widget for Big Cartel — Free, No Plugin

Embed Capterra reviews on any Big Cartel page with a single copy-paste embed code. Capterra software reviews, embedded where buyers compare and decide. Installs via the theme code editor. Theme code editing requires a paid Big Cartel plan.

Where Capterra reviews help most on Big Cartel

Software companies rarely run on Big Cartel, but some do, to sell licences, templates, plugins, hardware that ships with software, or add-ons.

The buyer is then a business, and Capterra reviews from users of your product are the proof that buyer recognises. Put the widget on the product page for the licence or plan, under the description and above the price options. A compact badge on the home page covers the rest. Leave it off physical merchandise: Capterra reviews describe the software, and beside a T-shirt or a mug they read as unrelated, which undercuts the reviews rather than the mug.

About Capterra reviews in this widget

The Capterra widget brings the reviews from your Capterra product listing to your pages, with the rating out of 5 and review count Capterra publishes in the header. Software buyers use Capterra, a Gartner company, to build shortlists, so put the widget on the pages where they compare you. Capterra checks each review before publishing it. What site owners get wrong is reading the header as an average of the reviews on the page. It is Capterra's own figure and counts every review, including lower-rated ones a free widget leaves out.

Capterra Widget on Big Cartel — FAQ

Is the BlooTrue Capterra review widget free for Big Cartel?
Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed Capterra reviews on Big Cartel. No plugin, no recurring fee, unlimited views. The free plan shows your reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer; paid plans remove the branding.
How do I install the widget on Big Cartel?
In Big Cartel admin, open Design and click the Edit code (Advanced) view. Open the layout or page template where the reviews should appear. Paste the BlooTrue embed code into the template markup. Save — the widget renders on the live shop. Theme code editing requires a paid Big Cartel plan.
Anything specific to Big Cartel worth knowing before I embed?
The code editor edits the live theme — copy the template's contents somewhere safe before pasting so you can revert.
Where should I place Capterra reviews on Big Cartel for the biggest lift?
The home template under the featured products loop.
Do the reviews stay up to date automatically?
Paid plans auto-sync your Capterra reviews daily, so the widget always shows your latest 5-star reviews without touching Big Cartel again. The free plan shows the reviews imported at setup.
What do I paste into the builder to pull my Capterra reviews?
The address of your product listing on Capterra, which takes the form capterra.com/p/ followed by a number and your product name. The builder reads the rating, review count and reviews from that listing. Pick a layout, copy the one-line embed and paste it into your comparison page; the whole thing takes about a minute.
I already display a Capterra badge, why would I add a widget?
Because the badge is an image. It shows no review content, none of the words reviewers wrote about your software, and no count of how many wrote them. The widget lists the reviews from your Capterra listing, so a buyer on your comparison page reads what other buyers said without leaving for Capterra.
Will my Capterra rating appear as stars under my page in Google search results?
No. Google's review-snippet rules exclude reviews a business shows about itself through an embedded widget. Paid plans still add schema.org Review and AggregateRating markup as JSON-LD carrying your Capterra rating and review count, which search engines and AI assistants can read when the embed renders inline on your page; if the embed sits in a sandboxed iframe, they never see it.
